Happy #MellowMetalSaturday! If you've been following me you know I'm currently exploring modern bands with southern roots. This song is a great example of a powerful mellow metal ballad back by some very great metal musicians. Alter Bridge is a prog metal band from Orlando, Florida, formed in 2004.

Feb 2023 I haven't posted much on LinkedIn lately, but that doesn't mean I'm not doing my homework looking for a cool #FridayMorningJam tune to share with my music loving friends and followers. Yeah, I love Bob Seger, but I am always on the look out for new tunes and new artists that make me feel like dancing and remembering the classic rock of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

As I explore the “next generation” of Southern Rock I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Black Crowes. They were formed in Marietta, Georgia, in 1984, but they did not release their first studio album, Shake Your Money Maker, in 1990. “Hard to Handle

So how about Black Stone Cherry, a group of young men who started playing together as teenagers in 2001 in Edmonton, Kentucky. Black Stone Cherry is an American rock band, formed in 2001 in Edmonton, Kentucky. Black Stone Cherry is another great group I discovered in my quest to find the next generation of southern rock bands.

Today's #FridayMorningJam celebrates the life of Gary Rossington who recently passed away, he was the last original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. I also want to celebrate Women's History Month by featuring the first women of southern rock. I chose this live video from the Summer of 1976 because it prominantly features Cassie Gaines, Jojo Billingsley, and Leslie Hawkins, known collectively as The Honkettes.

Feb 2023 When I think of Mellow Metal Music the names of Queensryche and Geoff Tate come to mind. If you've followed any type of metal music over the years you have listened to some of Queensryche and Geoff Tate. Geoff Tate had a good run with Queensrÿche from 1982 to 2012. Typical of rock stars and their bands Geoff Tate had a very ugly divorce from Queensrÿche in 2012 that ended with years of lawsuits.

Time for a #MellowMetalSaturday throw back to the 80s. I love screaming guitars, I hate screaming vocals. That's why I have mixed feelings about so many heavy metal bands. So cool to see how an artist so associated with heavy metal can make a mellow metal song sound so soulful.
